I have Bridge Metadata preferences set to display Indesign document size in millimetres.

However the dimensions will not display in Bridge. Can anyone please help me get this working??

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

You have Bridge setup to display supported raster file formats dimensions in metric… Bridge started life as Photoshop’s File Browser and despite the advancements over time, in many ways it is still limited to it’s basic roots.

Bridge supports InDesign files for various info, just not document size.

Marketing and end user expectations would lead one to expect tighter integration between Bridge and other Adobe apps than is often the case.

Dimensions of Documents in Bridge MetaData window... AI, PDF, ect

Thanks Stephen

I must have imagined having this functionality in the past!

I often imagine Bridge to be better than it is! :]

It could be, if somebody at Adobe really cared.

Most of the improvements sadly come from end users writing scripts, not from product development.
